Chemi-Pure or Phos-Zorb

[Lakeside518]

Chemi-Pure: Described as a chemical absorption filter. Does it affect reef dosing? Same applied to the Phos-Zorb?

Does the reef benefit from their use? Add in filtering? I remember Upstatedave @ the last meeting stated he used Chemi-Pure, I also over heard him explaining a down side or draw back he experienced? I forgot tho I could be wrong? Sorry Dave if i am. Was awhile ago now...

I use Chemi-pure. I don't think it has any draw backs for a reef.

 

[upstatedave]

that was chemi clean...used for the removal of cyano....it kills all the pods....and didn't work very well either....I haven't used chemi pure....and haven't heard anything negative about it

I 'think' that I had heard somewhere that chemi-pure can reduce your ORP...anyone know if thats true?

Otherwise, I've used in the past, but still prefer a good quality carbon.

ya chemi clean has some more abvious draw backs. i use chemi pure and have nothing really bad to say about it. in my experience it does far more good than bad as it has always saved me when i have to postpone water changes for a week or so.

I've used both products as well as Metal-B-Gon and Phosguard (Seachem). THey all work well in conjunction with each other.

i would say my reef does benefit from thier use.
